8.68 Works of faith – testimony of dead man raised from the dead after 3 days
Today, I would like to share a powerful testimony of a woman’s work of faith that resulted in her deceased husband being raised from the dead after 3 days. This is from Reinhard Bonnke’s DVD – Raised from the Dead. It is an awesome DVD which I bought for my parents when I was sharing the gospel with them. It left an impact.
This is a true story of a pastor in Nigeria who was involved in a car accident. He died on the way to the doctor. Two angels came to bring him up to paradise.
The man had been dead for 3 days. But suddenly, the woman remembered a prophecy that God had given her earlier – that there would be no violations in her family. The verse in Hebrews 11:35, “Women received their dead raised to life again,” spoke to her heart.
The remembrance of the prophecy and that Bible verse caused faith to surge in her heart. She prayed to God with her stubborn faith and interceded for her husband. She refused to let him go. She believed he would be raised again.
So she acted out her faith. She had works of faith. She persuaded her father-in-law to bring the rock-hard corpse to a meeting where Reinhard Bonnke was preaching. She believed that the intensity of the anointing at that place would raise the dead. Remember that the anointed bones of Elisha actually raised the dead in the Old Testament.
At that church, they laid the body on a table in a basement. The crowd prayed for the dead man. Miraculously, the man started breathing. Remember that he has been even embalmed with chemicals. His body was rock-hard. They people massaged his hands and blood began to flow. His body became warm again. The massaged his neck and they were able to move his head. Finally, the man jumped up alive after 3 days. A crippled woman saw this miracle and her faith surged. She threw away her crutches and started running – giving glory to Jesus.
The man had a story to tell. He was sent back to fulfill the rich man’ request in the parable given by Jesus. He has a message for our end time generation to believe in Jesus.
The point is that the man would not have experienced that miracle – if not for the stubborn faith of his wife. The man would not have been resurrected if she had no acted out her faith by bringing the corpse to the Reinhard Bonnke meeting. It was inconvenient. People thought she was crazy. But she had works of faith that resulted in the miracle.
Today, when you walk in faith, and when you do works of faith, you will experience your miracle.
